If any of these ideas appeal to you and but it's a case of "Oh shucks ...I just don’t have any old doors lying around" (like so many of us), fear not, you can always try The Freecycle Network, Free Trade Ireland, or one of the many salvage yards that might be in your city. You can also try, as I've pointed out before, a little bit of skiphunting.

With the growing number of skips taking up residence outside houses undergoing refurbishment - it's the perfect opportunity to grab a few discarded doors.
